US men's volleyball undefeated in pool play

| | Comments (0) |

Looking for its first Olympic medal since 1992 in Barcelona and its first gold since 1988 in Seoul, the United States volleyball team enters the quarterfinals with an undefeated 5-0 record in pool play.
The United States defeated Japan in three games and will face Serbia Wednesday in the quarterfinals.
Ryan Millar of Lancaster and a Highland High School graduate had 10 points, five on kills and four blocks.
"Ryan is having a very good tournament," U.S. Olympic men's indoor volleyball coach Hugh McCutcheon said. "He is hitting the ball with a lot range, being able to attack a lot of zones. I am very happy with his offensive output. I also think he is doing a nice job defensively with his blocking. He has been serving for a lot of points."
